Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, deeply aromatic. Black currant, toffee, narcissus, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with bright, juicy acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of black currant and toffee that carry far into the long.

Notes

This coffee earned the highest rating in a cupping of “Cause Coffees” for Coffee Review’s March 2021 report. Roasters of these coffees contribute a portion of proceeds to non-profit organizations doing work to improve the lives of others, locally or globally. Green Stone Coffee is a woman-owned artisan roastery in Taipei, Taiwan founded in 2016 and specializing in sourcing distinctive coffees that express their individual terroirs. Green Stone will donate 20% of net profits from the sale of this coffee to The Growth Association. Visit www.greenstone-coffee.com.tw for more information.  

Bottom Line

A classic Kenya cup: vibrant, sweet-tart, with bright acidity, rich florals and dark-berry fruit.
